The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
Isaiah 33:12, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
In context, God is speaking in verses 10 to 13, answering the arrogance of Assyria, the destroyer of chapter 33 verse 1, and announcing that He will now rise up and be exalted. Verse 12 pictures the nations who opposed Him as thorns cut down and burned, a common image in Isaiah for chaff and stubble that cannot survive fire.
